In A Lily Among the Thorns, De La Torre examines the Bible, current events, history and our culture-at-large to show how and why racism, sexism, and classism have distorted Christianity’s central teachings about sexuality. The author shows how the church’s traditionally negative attitudes toward sex in general—and toward women, people of color, and gays in particular—have made it difficult, if not impossible, to create a biblically based and just sexual ethic. But when the Bible is read from the viewpoint of those who have been marginalized in our society, preconceived notions about Christianity and sex get turned on their heads. Taking on hot-button topics such as pornography, homosexuality, prostitution, and celibacy, the author examines how “reading from the margins” provides a liberating approach to dealing with issues of sexuality.

How does the industrialization of food objectify humanity and dissociate us from nature? In Food Fight, a global panel of researchers and activists lay bare the devastating histories and current realities of weaponized food. They engage with the role of colonialism in the destruction of Indigenous foodways, the representation of "Coca-Cola Colonialism" in Indian literature and film, the intersection of law and the deforestation of the Amazon for cattle farming in Brazil, connections between food and theology in the Himalayas, and readings of the Bible from a Moana perspective. Each contribution offers a unique point of view on the various ways that food interacts with politics, theology, history, and religion, illuminating how what we eat is always more than just calories.

"Gonna Trouble the Water" considers the sacred nature of water and the ways in which it is weaponized against non-white communities. With compelling contributions from scholars and activists, politicians and theologians, "Gonna Trouble the Water" de-centers the concept of water as a commodity in order to center the dignity of water and its life-giving character. Firmly grounded at the intersection of environmentalism and racism, "Gonna Trouble the Water" makes clear the message: to deny water is to deny life.
With compelling contributions from scholars and activists, politicians and theologians—including former Colorado governor Bill Ritter, global academic law professor Ved P. Nanda, Detroit-based activist Michelle Andrea Martinez, and many more—Gonna Trouble the Water de-centers the concept of water as a commodity in order to center the dignity of water and its life-giving character.
